Waking up ready to eat.

Does anyone besides me ever take a nap in the afternoon and wake up wanting to eat? And I don't mean just a light snack- for me, chocolate usually sounds good or something sweet, and not just one little piece either. And what's your solution if you have that problem? No naps?

    I'm the same way!
    My solution is: before I even get off the couch or out of my bed, I chose a healthy snack that I will eat. That way, I'm not jumping off the couch and searching for anything with chocolate!

    I make a cup of coffee....some splenda and a little milk, and I'm good to go. Takes care of my "hunger" and its sweet too.

    I ALWAYS need something sweet after a meal. Anybody else? I find two dark chocolate hershey kisses seem to do the trick :smile:

    I usually have coffee when I wake up. Then I'm not ready to eat for a couple more hours.

    I love my naps, I only get a few hours a night sleep. So I look forward to my naps. I have a huge sweet tooth but its anytime not just after waking up.lol.... To be honest and this works for me. I stay below my calorie limit everyday, but I eat what I want I just have to plan. I try to make better choices. Like instead of getting the snickers bar or eating 2-3 donuts I will get a 3 musketeers (less fat and 260 in calories. I love ben and jerry's cherry garcia ice cream, but instead of that I get the cherry garcia frozen yogurt. I make better choices, I plan ahead, I eat what I want, moderation is the key. This is what works for me right now. Im losing weight but when I stall I will rearrange how I do things. Good luck to you, and your journey. ( Just so you know I do not do this everyday,) But I cant feel like im depriving myself so if I am craving it, I will eat a little bit. This is why this way of life is working because im not eliminating foods.
